Mystery Retailer Begins Permitting Process in Eureka

Why would a city approve permits for a business without knowing who it was?

via Times-Standard:

“Eureka-based property management company Carrington Co. submitted a building permit application on behalf of its tenant to the city on June 28 but withheld the tenant’s name. According to the application, the tenant plans to make about $4.6 million worth of improvements to the building using Dallas-based architect Shade L. O’Quinn. O’Quinn did not return phone calls seeking comment. O’Quinn is listed as submitting site plans for five Wal-Mart stores in North Carolina, according to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Health and Natural Resources.”
